Updates
Gosh, it has been two months since I have posted an update. Time flies when you are having fun.
Bill has finished his outdoor kitchen cabinet.
It has one big drawer on one side for charcoal, lighter, and wood chips and three drawers on the other side for utensils, etc. We picked out some really gorgeous tiles with a metallic element for the top to make it heat-resistant. He trusted me with the painting! He is now working on sliding shelves to go under the bathroom sinks for laundry supplies.
I had one cataract surgery done two weeks ago. That eye is completely recovered nicely. I will have the other one done tomorrow. Praying that it will go as well.
I learned how to sew at my mother's knee when I was 8 years old, or younger. I learned on her old Singer treadle machine. Remember those old machines you had to pump with your foot? And you had to turn the wheel BACKWARDS to get it going? I have wanted one since my mother passed twenty something years ago. Hers burned in a house fire and I was just sick that I didn't get it. Well, I found one last week at an estate sale. Of course it had my name on it! It still has the original instruction manual - still wrapped in waxed paper - and all the original attachments, including a ruffler, that seems to be missing in most you can find today. It is in the original cabinet, which is in near-perfect condition! I am so proud of my "new" baby! All the parts work properly, the only thing wrong is that it has a broken belt, which is readily available. I did some research from the serial number, and found out that it was made in Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1916!
